Found 02 2500-3500 Hub Conversion!
This place:<br>http://www.rightgear.com/welcome.htm<br><br>Cost=$1250<br>Installation= About 4 hours. Simialar to changing ball joints<br>ABS= ABS must be disconnected to run this conversion<br><br>What do you guys think? Anyone have any experince with this place? Will disconnecting the ABS be a problem?<br><br>Dynatrac does not make a hub conversion for 00-02 rams due to the outer knuckle change but this place does. <br><br>I will soon be running 11"s of lift up front so I may buy this kit.<br><br>http://www.cardomain.com/id/rattlindodge

What am I missing? All pickups use an adaptor for the front wheels to convert from single wheels to dual. I am running adaptors both front and rear with good results. My ABS works just fine.

Huh???? I'm talking adding front locking hubs to a 00-02 2500 or 3500 guys! Sorry I didn't make myself clear :<br><br>This will particlularly help guys with the 02s because that front axle disconnect was eliminated in 02 with the D60 front so the driveshaft spins all the time. With manual hubs, the ds will be constantly spinning

I just removed my front driveshaft to try to hunt down a vibration that started when I put my 4.5" lift on.<br><br>Vibration is gone and I noticed, according to the trip computer, that I'm getting 2 mpg better than I did with the front driveshaft on.<br><br>Now I have to decide how to go about fixing the vibration and hopefully keeping the 2mpg I recieved.<br>But, as I have no bombing funds left, that $1250.00 ain't gonna happen soon :'( .<br><br><br>phox

Those things are real touchy and if you don't mark and reconnect them in the same places, you could get a vib. Worth a try anyway.
